Frederick Tyler Harrison, 87, of Winfield, passed away on March 10, 2022, at his residence surrounded by his children.  
He was born in Mason City, IA, on May 29, 1934, and upon the death of his father, relocated with family to West Palm Beach, Fla., where he graduated high school. He attended the University of Florida for one year before enlisting in the United States Air Force. He served two deployments in Thailand during the Vietnam War.  
While stationed in Great Britain, he met and married Sally Humphrey and began raising the family.  As with most military families, a multitude of postings were in order and time was spent serving in Mississippi, New Mexico, Nevada and Texas. He retired from the USAF as a Tech Sergeant in 1972 while stationed at Carswell AFB. Shortly thereafter, he began employment with General Dynamics/Lockheed Martin as a avionics technician building F-16s. He retired as a post production avionics supervisor that allowed him to travel to Europe, Israel and the middle east.  
For health reasons, Mr. Harrison moved to Winfield in 2002 and spent the remainder of his life in happy retirement.  
He is survived by his children - Tracy (Scott) Hester, Jeffrey (Delaina) Harrison and Kimberly Harrison; grandchildren - Garrett Harrison, Joshua Wirtz, Emma Trull, Michelle Hester, Melody Harrison and Kelly Jean Hester; sister - Jean Bruno; niece -  Carol Ann Brovelli; and a host of other relatives and dear friends.
